BY HER OWN HAND.
Why Virginia Girl Took Her Owr
Life.

HAGERsTowN, Md, Nov. 2O.-Miss
Belle FunkhOuser, of Luray, Va, died
very suddenly at her uncle's residence
in this city on Friday night last. An in
quest on the body was held yesterday.
The testimony elected the fact that she
had been seduced by physician of
Marksville, Va, and, not knowing her
condition had engaged herself to gen.
tleman of BentOnville, Ga. A number
of letters found in the deceased s satchel
revealed the fact that they were from
her affianced and the doctor referred to.
From the doctors letters it was learned
that Miss FunkhOuser had been visiting
Winchester and Fredericks before com
ing to HagerStoWn. In letter of recent
date he eXpOstulated with her about
asking him to send her something. One
letter from Miss Funkhouser, addressed
to the doctor, but which had not been
sent, tells him that no one in HagerstOwn
suspected her condition. The testimony
of physicians who held an autopsy
was that her death had been of violent
nature, doubtless the result of taking
some powerful drug, the character of
which they were unable to discover from
the evidence and circumstances sur
rounding the case. 1t is evident that the
young woman, realizing that her be-
trayer would not marry her, and over
whelmed by the sad consequences of
her condition, deliberately ended her
own life. Miss FunkhOuSer was woman
of commanding appearance, good edu-
cation and winning and attractive man

THIS is TERRIBLE.
Four Men Killed by a Saw Mill
Explosion.

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Nov. 2O.-A boiler
in w. Z. Wilson & Co.'s saw mill, nine
miles from here, exploded yesterday.
The following persons were killed: w.
u. Wilson, one of the proprietors; Timo-
thy Cowley, engineer; j. B. Ackers,
foreman; Collins and Taylor, unknown.
A number of other employees were Sc
verely injured. Ackers, the foreman,
was killed where he was standing, the
entire top of his head being blown
away. The intestines of Wilson were
discovered near where Ackers' body lay,
cut in two. His head could not be
found. Part of his backbone was
found 200 feet away on the top of hill.
Cowley's body was found seventy-five
feet from where he was supposed to
have been standing. 1t could be recOg-
nized only by the clothing. The bodies
of Collins and Taylor could not be found
for hours. Collins remains were found
upon hill 800 feet from the place where
he stood. The body and face were so
mangled that he could be recognized
only by the boots he wore. Taylor was
found $50 feet from the engine room,
wedged head foremost between two
logs.

damage by water on furniture and the
ceilings of the council chamber. Judge
Wilson'S loss on his barn is $500. Mis-
cellaneOus losses will swell the total to
about $4,000, with insurance of nearly
half that amount. The fire is supposed
to be the work of an incendiary, who
had grudge against the Gospel army,
occupying the second floor of the car
riage works. The Gospel army, which
is on the decline here in WinOna, has
many enemies, and interviews with
number of the lights in that -Organiza-
ton show that they are all willing to at
tribute it to the work of some malic-
iously-inclined party. The First Bap-
tist church was built in 1857 and is Sc
we're loss to the congregation at the
present time. The fire Lit up the sky
for miles around, and fully $1,000 people
anXiously watched the progress of the
flames. The firemen labored under the
disadvantage of lack of hose, but. as
usual, did energetic and effective SER
vice and prevented what at one time
threatened to wipe out large section OF
the city,.

Several Signs Which Indicate
That the French President
Will Resign,
Though He Insists That No
Rabble Can Drive Him Out
Of Office.
He Offers Both Goblet and
Clemenceau a Chance at
Cabinet Making.
The Meetings at Trafalgar
Square and Hyde Park, Lon
don, Very Quiet.

PARIS, Nov. 20.-A meeting of indie
pendent deputies of the left was held
to-day, at which NM. BrissOn, LOckrOy,
Rubot, Sadi Carnot and Goblet were
present. 1t was decided not to partici-
pate in the action proposed by the pie
nary conference of the groups of the
left. unless the programme the confer
ence had previously agreed upon should
be dropped. La RepubliQue states that
M. Chevy has assured NJ. de Freycinct
that he will not, under any clrcum-
stances, yield to the present agitation
for his resignation, but if he should find
it impossible to form ministry he
would ask the senate to dissolve the
chamber. This done, he would address
the country through message to par
lament and retire from office, but he
would not permit himself to be coerced
into retirement by the noise of rabbleS.
PARIS, Nov. 20.-M. Goblet was sum-
moned to the Elysee by President Grevy
this evening and asked to form a min
try. He stated that he was not then in
a position to give a definite answer to
the presidents request, but required
time in which to study the situation.
M. Grevy has summoned NJ. Clemen-
ceau to an interview at 10 O'Clock to-
morrow morning on the subject of the
latter's undertaking to form a govern
ment.
The summoning of Clemenceau by the
president is taken to indicate that the
latter will speedily resign. NJ. Clemen-
ceau publicly declared Saturday that M.
Grevy could only retain his Office in the
event of his finding responsible politi-
clan to form cabinet under his presi-
dency.
Three Republican sections of the SEN
ate decided at meeting tonight that as
only a cabinet crisis and not preSiden-
tiaI crisis had arrived there was no ne
cessity for calling full meeting of all
the groups.

QUIET AND ORDERLY.
The Police of London Had a Very
Uneventful Sabbath.

By Cable to the Clone.
LONDON, Nov. 20.-FiVe thousand per-
sons assembled in Hyde park to-day for
the purpose of holding an open meeting
under the auspices of the Radical
federation. They marched to the park
in sections to the music of fife and
drum, and carrying banners inscribed
Home Rule" No Coercion" ETC., and
were generally orderly. There was at
first some disposition to hOot the police,
but the speakers quickly repressed the
noisy ones and the meeting proceeded
quietly. Resolutions were adopted de-
nOuncing Sir Charles Warren and Home
Secretary Matthews, and the crowd
sang to the tune of John Browns
Body" A local criticism of Gen. War
ren created enthusiasm and much mer-
riment. Resolutions were also passed
protesting against the imprison-
patriots. At Trafalgar square the
police were not so numerous
as last Sunday, though they were in
sufficient force to prevent any disorder.
One thousand special cOnstables were
packed around the square early in the
forenoon, with instructions to make no
attempt to exclude the general public,
but to prevent professions or solid bod
les of people. A large force of mounted
police was stationed in the streets de-
bouching upon the square, and reserve
force, 5000 strong, was held in readiness
in the police yard. At about o'clock
in the afternoon there was an immense
crowd in the square, as we'll as In the
streets leading to it, but the people
were kept moving by the police and no
disorder occurred. A few roughs were
arrested for resisting the police,
but the crowd.finally dispersed about
$50 without giving the police the slight
est trouble.
The details of the demonstration to-
day show that perfect quiet and order
prevailed, with the exception of single
incident in HOlborn, where the Irish
Temperance league, with a band and
with banners flying, tried to pass
through the Gordon of police and was
driven back. The line of procession
was broken, the banners seized and
number of persons were struck by the
batons of the police. Three arrests
were made

WINONA SCORCHED.
Several Buildings Burned by an
Obstinate Fire.

Special to the Globe.
WINoNA, Minn., Nov. 2O.-Fire
started in the rear of the old Gate
City carriage factory, on East Fourth
street, about o'clock, and before it
could be controlled an entire half block
of frame buildings was consumed. The
old carriage factory was an immense
wooden structure, the upper story being
used by the Gospel army in its nightly
meetings. The building was as dry as
tinder, and was one sheet of flames in
an instant. The fire department soon
had half dozen streams playing on the
building, but brisk and varying wind
carried the fire to the adjacent buildings
on both sides. The Baptist church,
large frame structure, with all its con-
tents, including valuable pipe organ,
was completely consumed. On the east
side two frame dwelling houses, owned
by Conrad Bohn, of st. Paul, and Occu-
pied by DR.. Simmons and Joe TiSdale,
went next with large amount of the
contents. East of these the dwelling
house of E. S. Davis was enveloped in
flames and completely destroyed. The
frame house next, owned by o. B.
Gould and occupied by Lee l. Crandall,
was damaged beyond repair.
THE PUBLIC LIBRARY
at the east end of the block was saved
with but moderate damage to the build
ing. The books and furniture were all
removed in anticipation of the fire, and
sustained some loss in removal. The
city building and council chamber
caught from flying sparks, but were
saved, the principal loss being from
water. The loss is substantially as fol-
lows: Gate City Carriage company,
